Answer:
First, the good news: India’s literacy rate has risen from around 18% in the 1950s to 74% in the last Census, in 2011. The bad news is within this average, women remain the disadvantaged ones, with a gap of almost 20% between male and female literacy rates, as reported by Firstpost in association with the Institute for Competitiveness.
Additionally, the average female literacy rate in India stands at around 60%, which is 22% lower than the global average — including not only developed countries but also middle- and low-income countries, such as Zimbabwe. The gender disparity in literacy rates in India is also wider than in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka.
“The lack of education among women prevents their participation in the workforce, thus hindering the country’s development,” write Amit Kapoor and Anirudhh Duttaa, explaining that female education “has a significant impact on the development of future generations as they usually have a more direct role to play in their child’s education than their father. The addition of a year of schooling to a mother’s education has a significantly higher impact on the next generation than an addition to a father’s schooling by the same number of years.”
